Let $n>s>0$ be integers, $X$ an $n$-element set and $\mathscr{A}, \mathscr{B}\subset 2^X$ two families. If $|A\cup B|\le s$ for all $A\in\mathscr{A}, B\in \mathscr{B}$, then $\mathscr{A}$ and $\mathscr{B}$ are called cross $s$-union.…

We clarify the mathematical structure underlying unitary $t$-designs. These are sets of unitary matrices, evenly distributed in the sense that the average of any $t$-th order polynomial over the design equals the average over the entire…

New sets (typically found by computer search) with Sidon constant equal to the square root of their cardinalities are given. For each integer $N$ there are only a finite number of groups of prime order containing $N$-element extreme sets.…

Unigraphs are graphs identifiable up to isomorphism from their degree sequences. Given a class $\mathcal{A}$ of graphs, we define the class of $\mathcal{A}$-unigraphs to be graphs identifiable from degree sequence and membership in…

This paper develops a rich theory of cardinality in the paraconsistent and paracomplete set theory $\mathrm{BZFC}$, where sets can be inconsistent ($A$ such that ``$x\in A$'' is both true and false for some $x$) or incomplete ($A$ such that…

Given a subset of size $k$ of a very large universe a randomized way to find this subset could consist of deleting half of the universe and then searching the remaining part. With a probability of $2^{-k}$ one will succeed. By probability…

We prove that if there is an elementary embedding from the universe to itself, then there is a proper class of measurable successor cardinals.

First we define a new kind of function over $\mathbb{N}$. For each $i\in\mathbb{N}$ we have an associated function, which will be called $S_i$ . Then we define a new kind of sequence, to be made from the functions $S_i$ . Finally, we will…

We obtain a complete description of the planar cubic Cayley graphs, providing an explicit presentation and embedding for each of them. This turns out to be a rich class, comprising several infinite families. We obtain counterexamples to…

Consider a continuous one parameter family of circles in complex plane that contains two circles lying in the exterior of one another. Under mild assumptions on the family, we prove that if a continuous function on the union of the above…

In this work we have considered the complexity of the different structures as topological group on Z. We collect some new results, as well as some known results on the group of the integers in order to present: -A family of $2^\cont$…

Recently, a new concept called the $c$-differential uniformity was proposed by Ellingsen et al. (2020), which allows to simplify some types of differential cryptanalysis. Since then, finding functions having low $c$-differential uniformity…

Comprehensive - that is, gauge and family - unification using spinors has many attractive features, but it has been challenged to explain chirality. Here, by combining an orbifold construction with more traditional ideas, we address that…

We give an example of a finitely based locally finite variety which has uncountably many term clones. (Such varieties were known before.)

It is proved to be consistent relative to a measurable cardinal that there is a uniform ultrafilter on the real numbers which is generated by fewer than the maximum possible number of sets. It is also shown to be consistent relative to a…

Using GCH, we force the following: There are continuum many simple cardinal characteristics with pairwise different values.

In this paper we introduce novel views of monoids and groups. More specifically, for a given set $S$, let $S^{S\times S}$ be the set of binary operations on $S$. We equip $S^{S\times S}$ with canonical binary operations induced by the…

Given a rational function of degree at least two defined over a number field k, we study the cardinality of the set of rational iterated preimages. We prove bounds for the cardinality of this set as the rational function varies in certain…

We show how to construct, via forcing, splitting families than are preserved by a certain type of finite support iterations. As an application, we construct a model where 15 classical characteristics of the continuum are pairwise different,…

The fact that the cocommutative comonoids in a symmetric monoidal category form the best possible approximation by a cartesian category is revisited when the original category is only braided monoidal. This leads to the question when the…
